Opening up the cage!

This blog is in continuation of my last blog (The invisible cage). I was very much intrigued to continue this topic after hearing what one of my seniors had to say about it, as we could see that it wasn't a topic where we move towards a sole direction. It happens in life that sometimes we decide to ignore certain things unconsciously or consciously, the way I did.
In my last blog I mentioned a thing about Sita, that in our culture a mother prefer her daughter to be like Sita may be because she was less rebellious. But I would like to revisit that thought after a conversation with my senior, quoting his words precisely(as I couldn't find more suitable words), "When a mother tells her daughter to be like Sita, it is because they want their daughter to get the grace, aura, chastity and loyalty. They tell them to be so strong that you don't need a man to live your life and when someone raises a finger on you, be so strong and confident that you can prove them wrong and no evil can touch you..."
This surly changed my thinking as I understood that there is no one vision to a given situation. But there is still one question that does not leave my mind, if the people questioned Sita then why did they not question Ram? Is it always the society who will decide what is right and what is wrong? Despite of the love and loyalty they had for each other they were never able to stay together. why does individualism has no importance? why does one look up to someone else? to correct the mistake or to commit the same one?


Please comment whatever you feel..lets open up the cage some more...

"Fear pushes you out of the door and desire calls to you, enticing you toward the rocks. That's the trap."-Robert T. Kiyosaki Please don't let money run your life, these two sentences kept my mind boggling because I could relate to it, I knew if I accept these two statements that would mean I am already moving towards the trap but if I would ignore them then I am already inside the trap. Most of the time we do our thinking emotionally without even knowing. Emotions which are generated through that very fear and desire and that's why most of the time we choose what we need and not what we want. That is why it is important to put your emotions to thinking and not the other way round, it is important to see the full picture rather than be a donkey running after carrot. Since our childhood we live in a close environment in which we hardly do any thinking. Our parents tell us to get good marks in school so we can get good college then get good grades so we can get

Did you ever wonder what is that something which stops you? which limits you? which make you decide what is wrong and what is right? why we have stopped analyzing things in terms of black and white, why gray is the only colour we choose? let me put this into broader terms, do you see the cage, inside which we are living? the cage in which we are trapped under the shackles of race, colour, gender, nationality, culture, religion, education and what not. Each and every time there is a situation in front of us where we need to choose one path, do we choose that path due to our wish? or our family's? or our society's wish? lets pick up the most common example, a woman in our Indian society, why is there a time limit set to every girl by there family if she is going out, why do we watch them with eyes full of hunger, what changes are attitude towards a female gender, why one male with several females friends and one female with several male friends does not give us the same f
